Does the President have the right to declare state of £mergency and suspend a Dem0cratically £Lected G0vernor and his deputy including members of the House of Assembly in the State?

Published

Section 305 of the 1999 constitution gives the president the power to declare state of Emergency when there is a clear and present danger of an actual breakdown of public order and public safety in the Federation or any part thereof requiring extraordinary measures to avert such danger;

The major danger here is the threat to blow Oil pipeline which is not something the government can joke with
The Governor is having face off with the members of the house of assembly

And as such, after declaring state of emergency,.
The president will appoint an administrator to take over the affairs of the state for the period of six months or less depending on the situation at hand

And if there will be an extension beyond six months, the National Assembly will be needed to grant such requests

During the period of state of emergency
It is assumed that the president is now the one directing the affairs of the state and he appoints someone to represent him directly

And when the president is the one directing the affairs of the state for some period of time

It means suspension indirectly for the Governor and his deputy with the members of the house of assembly cos they can’t do anything within that period and they are powerless while the president is now directly in charge over the affairs of the state.

So, either tinubu mention it or not

We all know, it’s automatic suspension for the Government of the state as they are not capable to handle the situation at hand for the moment.

Although, the Pr£sident doesn’t not the constitution power to sack or suspend the Governor and his cabinet but during state of emergency, it’s perceived to be an indirect suspension for the Governor and his cabinet for the presidency to take over the affiars of the state for that period.

And if wayo wan enter the game, na so dem to continue to dey get more additional six months approval from the National Assembly till the Governor Tenure go complete and him no go fit do anything again.
That’s one scope to keep the Governor suspended till the end of his tenure

Tinubu is not the first president to declare state of Emergency

It happened under president olusegun obasanjo whete he declare SOE for plateau and Ekiti state 2004 and 2006 respectively

2013, President Jonathan did the same thing in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states respectively

No president is as powerful by constitution as Nigeria president in the whole world under democracy rule

The powers given to the Nigerian president in the constitution are much

As the saying Goes

After GOD, Na Government ooooo

Although
Tinubu was absolutely wrong to declare that the Governor is suspended

Very wrong cos he lacks the constitutional power to suspend the G0vernor officially, the Governor can only be removed by impeachment

And during this State of Emergency period, they are supposed to work closely with the Governor on the affiars of the state.

But Political game on ground won’t make such happen
